He learned tho, in next scenario he used infinite spawn and added 5 enemies each round, so we finaly understand he REALLY dont want us to fight here. laugh
But it was fun. ^_^

But even if ... so what?
I mean it was their decision to ignore all the hints and red flags, it was their decision to start a fight or pick those lines that started it, it it all consequences of their own actions.
And sure, some snowflakes that were expecting railroading and plot armor from DM would certainly melt ... but sometimes that is for the best.


Yeah-no. There is a difference between "You guys should really not fight these guys, oh you did? They start with summoning five creatures each, still wanna fight them?" and
"You should go to this place? You did? Cool, fight. Oh, they win inititive, kill your fighter in the first round, sleep two of your other party members, and teleport to your rouge and beat the everloving snot out of him.

That is how 4/5ths of my fight with the patrol goes. Before I get a turn.
